Quick question: When you say yes to someone, how often do you actually stop and ask yourself if you WANT to say yes? Not whether you can do it. Not whether they need you. Not whether they'll be disappointed. Not whether saying yes makes you the helpful, dependable one. Just... Do I actually want to? People-pleasing isn't always obvious. Sometimes it looks like being helpful, keeping the peace, being the person everyone can count on, avoiding conflict, or just saying: “It's fine.” And sometimes... it really is fine. That's what makes this one interesting. The newest Odd One Out workshop: Keeping the Peace, Losing Yourself Understanding People-Pleasing & Finding Your Voice isn't about teaching you to say no to everyone or stop caring about other people. It's about figuring out your patterns, what may be underneath them, what they give you, what they might be costing you, and how to start making choices that actually include you too. If that little question at the top made you hesitate for even a second... this might be one worth checking out in the classroom..

We've been building quite a bit inside Odd One Out, and I'm curious... Which topic hits you and makes you think, “Yep, I could probably use that one”? Take a look through the trainings/workbooks we've created so far: - Finding Your Window — Understanding Your Window of Tolerance - Finding Your Spark — Rediscovering what interests you, what matters & what comes next - Getting to Know Your Nervous System - Relapse Prevention Plan - And a new one coming soon... Keeping the Peace, Losing Yourself You don't have to have taken any of them yet. Just look at the topics. Which one resonates with you most right now? Or... what's a topic you don't see that you'd love for us to dig into here? Drop it below. 👇 A lot of what gets created next will come from what we're actually talking about and struggling with in this community.

Who Was Your Childhood Hero? Think back to when you were a kid. Before adulthood, responsibilities, and all the stuff that came later… Who did you look up to? It could have been a superhero, cartoon character, athlete, musician, family member, teacher, TV character—or somebody completely random. Now think about why you liked them so much. What was it about them that stood out to you? What did they do that you thought was cool? What kind of person were they? Was there something about them you wanted to be like? NOW LET'S LOOK AT THAT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY... Go back to the reasons you picked that person. Not who they were. Why them? Maybe they stood up for people. Maybe they were strong, funny, different, independent, kind, brave, rebellious, loyal, creative—or they kept going when things got hard. Whatever your reasons were, pull out 2 or 3 qualities that really stand out. Now ask yourself: Why did that matter so much to younger me? And here's where we're going to get a little curious... Do those same qualities still matter to you today? Do you see any of them in yourself? Are there any you wish you had more of in your life? You may have just stumbled into something we don't always stop and think about: your values. Sometimes we make values way more complicated than they need to be. Before we ever knew what the word values meant, we were already noticing what mattered to us. Your childhood hero might have been giving you clues all along Drop your childhood hero below and tell us why they were your person. Don't overthink this one. Just go with whoever comes to mind first. 👇
